Initial Perceptions

Christopher McCandless was an idiot who I admire. I thought this through the whole book. By the end of the book I was very proud of him, but there was something that bothered me.
I would do the same thing as he did in a heartbeat. I have pondered adventures like those.
The problem was that he was so caught up in this adventure that he did a lot of silly things. He was unprepared and did not know how to live off the land, but I connected to him. I loved what he did because he was searching for answers. He was a very bright kid who just needed more.
He was determined and I love that. Determination is something that is hard to find when the journey is so rough.
